Which social philosophy?

The chapter discusses the need for and validity of practicing social philosophy, as well as its distinct characteristics within the framework of contemporary standards of the philosophy of science and the realities of cultural and social contexts. The author suggests that it should be an integral philosophy, meaning one grounded in a maximalist interpretation of classical philosophy, incorporating metaphysics and worldview perspectives. At the same time, while retaining its methodological specificity, it should boldly draw upon the extensive body of insights from the entire spectrum of social and cultural sciences, which, like the natural sciences, play a dominant role in contemporary scientific culture.
